You could do this with a post-install script quite easily. I don't think this is the point, however. Making code E_STRICT isn't really important. The thing that Greg wants to do is drop PHP4 support completely. This would make the code less complicated and make support easier. -- Justin Patrin -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
